I have been playing for the past few months in the Mizuno’s and they are a fantastic shoe. So comfortable, sturdy and stable and the heel lock is unreal. As an adidas solecourt boost fan these are even better.
I'm a tennis coach, and I'm on court almost 8H every day, sometimes playing 2-3 hours per day. I have used almost all the most famous models from Asics, Adidas and Nike, and for me (I have a slightly wide foot), the most comfortable and durable ones have been the Nike Court React Vapor NXT (can't find them anywhere now) and the Lacoste AG LT Ultra 23. The Lacoste are incredibly comfortable and durable.
@@pleemd well, i really like these shoes and they're super comfortable. But I had 2 pairs already, and I got another one last month (AG Ultra) , and this last one the durability and quality of the shoe in general has been very low for a brand like Lacoste... If you have normal to wide foot i will recommend you Adidas Ubersonic, one of the best i tried, for me that I love Nike as a brand, the shoes has been super narrow lately, so Adidas, Asics and Lacoste
Having chronic knee and foot issues over the years of wear and tear on the court, the Mizuno Wave Enforce Tour is a life saver. I’ve been using it for over 8 months. I can still play hard with minimal or no pain on my body. Thanks Doctor Zach for the recommendation. Best tennis shoe I’ve ever used hands down. Just need to stock up multiple pairs. I have wide feet and it has enough room with a secured lock down. You just have to try it and be amazed how good it is. Excels on every aspect. Hopefully in the future it would come with more color ways.
The durability is ok, it depends of your game and if you spoil a lot your shoes. I would say asics a bit better about durability but i prefer more lacoste for all the rest
I've been using the Mizuno Wave Enforce Tours per your recommendation for a few months as well. I absolutely love the shoe, really glad I listened to you on that one :)
I really have to say, Lacoste ag lt 23 ultra has been so good with my play style! Love the traction it gives and the comfort when reaching far off balls is actually pretty good. Really happy with it and purchasing more as soon as the sales come in!
@@pleemd hi! I've been playing 2 hours daily since June 2023. I am an extreme toe dragger and quite a rough user of any shoes. They won't hold up as much as the Asics would. But still are way better than the previous gen barricades and Vapor Pros. As of now the rubber is thinning out, but the uppers are nice and tight, no tears or cuts so far
I followed your advice and being tall and heavy i grabbed a pair of mizunos and man i am glad i did. Super comfortable and best good looking shoe out there! Greetings from Greece
I would like to see you speak on minimalist shoes. I have started wearing them and my legs have changes in strength and shape. Why don't major brands offer this form factor?
I bought 4 shoes in my Orlando trip. Here my opinion about use in parks (Disney/universal): 1) Mizuno wave is excellent. No pain after 7 miles in a day. Second is the court ff 3. The worst was the Lacoste lt23 ultra: new pain in arch.
I play with my Joma tennis shoes. Don't know which model it is, but it's awesome. It's light enough, stable and comfortable. The colour is orange and yellow, mostly orange
I have been really impressed with the Diadora Speed Blushfield Fly 4 Plus. I had chronic plantar fasciitis issues until I started using this shoe. The added cushion around the ankle makes all other shoes seem uncomfortable. The only negative for me is the breathability because of all the cushioning. But it is an easy trade off, since I am pain free.
Love my Mizunos-best shoes I've had. On my third pair already. (For reference, I have wide feet most of the way through and almost nothing works for me.)
I purchased the Mizuno about 6 months ago because of your review. I do love them. There was virtually no break in period and less blisters than I used to get. Only issue I have is I have worn a hole in the front toe area which I have never noticed on other shoes I have had. But they are great shoes
@@FootDoctorZachwould you be willing to expand on this? This happens to my right foot in every shoe I wear. I always thought it was me dragging my toe on the serve leg drive. Thanks!
The Izumi is a great shoe for tennis, hanging out, driving to Ace Hardware, welding steel, cooking meals and ping pong too. But they might be too grippy for ballet. 🙂
The Lacoste 23s are definitely a top shoe the durability might be an issue, but a fantastic shoe. The mizunos are a little too floppy for me and I lost confidence with them when I rolled my foot landing on a serve. Shelved them to prevent a lisfranc injury. Happy to see the FF3s not on the list since I believe they took a step back from the 2s.
Looking for the lightest, best shoe. 70, not so great knees, and came back to tennis 3 years ago. Some tennis shoes feel so heavy and clunky compared to running shoes. Advice for the lightest please? Thanks!
i use wave enforce but i have a gripe. Its comfortable but the upper is too flexible. I almost rolled my ankle on a pivot because the upper gave in too much on my outside foot. Gotta go back to the adidas solecourt boost as reigning king of tennis shoe support.
Amazing videos. Many thanks they have helped me tremendously in my purchases. Have you considered doing a court shoe comparison? It would typically be relevant for badminton, squash and fencing, but many of these shoes are also used for volleyball, handball, indoor tennis. Top contestants would be: Yonex Aerus Z - my personal favourite, the top badminton shoe Yonex 65 series - podium shoe, top choice of top ranked players Asics Gel Blade 7 - former podium shoe, better than the Yonex 65 but not in production anymore Asics Fastball 3 - another personal favourite, but not in production anymore Asics Blast FF2 / FF3 - new and very popular with world class fencers and squash players these days Nike Ballestra 2 - most popular with Olympic fencers Nike Air Zoom - very popular with Olympic fencers PBT Fencera - another popular choice of fencers
I’ve thought about it but would have to really invest heavily in it and currently I’m already at max capacity doing hoops tennis and running - even now running shoe reviews are sparse and before I move on to others i need to fill that catalog out
If you’re a high performance tournament player, go with ASICS. There’s a reason why it’s one of the most worn shoes at the tour level. Mizuno is more comfy and softer shoes but I don’t recommend it for young high performance players that are able to slide.
Hey Zach! Can you give recommendations for good basketball shoes for pinky toe bunions? I love the hardens, but they are kinda painful after a couple hours
Thank you for another great review. You are the man. I check and double check every show I ever buy with your reviews haha. I ended up getting the Jet Mach 3 based on your previous recommendations but I mostly use it for singles pickleball. I was torn between the mizuno and those and I went with the babolat because most pro players use them for pickleball. Keep em coming. We appreciate you
I'm on vacation in the USA/Disneyworld (I'm from Brazil) and I took advantage of your list to go shopping! I had already bought the Coco Cg1 in Brazil for $120 (cheaper than here in the USA), but I didn't like the sneakers. I bought the Mizuno Enforce here (Orlando), today the Lacoste Lt23 ($95) and in a promotion a Nike vapor pro 2 PRM ($55). My 2024 tennis season in Brazil is guaranteed (😅).
what would you recommend the most for someone switching from the nike gp turbo? just started playing for one season last year so i dont have a super clear playstyle yet or anything i just really liked how soft and comfortable they were but it seems now theyre discontinued and i dont wanna pay like $300 on a reselling website for some tennis sneakers. thanks so much!
I bought the New Balance CG1 two weeks ago, and I didn't like it. I have a small problem with my Achilles tendon, which starts to bother me after 1 hour of playing tennis with FF court 2 or NB 996 v4 shoes. But with the Coco CG1 my tendon starts to complain after 15 minutes of starting! Terrible! I play on clay, and I felt much slower with this CG1, and I consider myself a fast and explosive player. I will be switching to the Mizuno Enforce and hope I have luck! I will leave CG1 to play doubles or for training with a ball machine.
I have the lacoste for clay, already bought another pair to stock up, great shoe, light and responsive. For hardcourt where I need more protection I play with the lotto raptor, might try those Mizuno next. Thanks for the list!
I have to go with the Lacoste. I´m a professional tennis coach, had surgery on my right foot because of a peroneal tendon tear and have been suffering pain constantly until I started wearing the Lacoste. No more need for special insoles, no more taping my foot...I found my shoes! they are absolutely perfect to me.
I have a narrow, flat foot and wear a Mens size B. NB has only one men's tennis shoe with this size unfortunately. Interestingly, I bought a NB women's size 12 B tennis shoes which closely matches a Men's 10.5 B. Comfort and stability are more important to me that speed. Are there other brands that make size B women's 12 I should try on since mens narrow shoes are rare?
Hey Zach, have taken several of your suggestions, Thanks! on the Pulse inserts, are you recommending replacing the factory inserts or on top of them? Trying to relieve ball foot pain that I get after a few hours of play. Thanks
@@FootDoctorZachbig difference between wide toe box and wide shoes like 2E 4E… many people looking for normal width in heel / mid foot with larger toe box .
Hey! Nice content as always. After seeing your review of the resolution 9 I decided to get a pair, and I love them. Planning to buy a pair for clay as well! Do you know if they will release any new colors soon? :-)
You're reviews are the best! Picked up some Gel Res 9's. Do you know when manufacturers put out their new lines/colorways? I really want to try the Mizuno's but very tough to find any anything but the white ones. Thanks!
I truly love the Lacoste shoe - its feel and appearance are amazing. However, it's a bit tight near my big toe. Do you think it might improve after a break-in period, or should I consider looking for an alternative? Unfortunately, the next size is too big.
I was playing in the ASICS Djockvics for about a year-thought and still think they’re a great shoe. However, I just bought the Lacoste shoe and it’s better! I play pickleball. I purchased a second pair of the Lacoste’s.
What do you think about the Way of Wade all city 11 for tennis? I want to get it because it has more cushion than tennis shoes but worried about durability of sole
Dear Doctor Zach, could you tell me which shoes will be the most comfortable? On your advice I bought Lotto Raptor, but they are too stiff for me for hard court. My old one Adidas Unersonic 4 was better, but they are not dedicated for ankle sprainers. Please give top 3 the most comfortable shoes for flat feet and ankle sprainers.
Looking to replace my Gel Res 8's. I wouldn't mind something that feels a tad more minimalist. Would you say the Mizuno Wave Enforce fit the bill? I was set on the KSwiss Speedtracs until I saw your reviews.
Great video as always! Question , have you tried out the Z-Liner Labs insoles? Curious to hear your input. Also, does the Babolat Jet Mach 3 still hold up to newer releases for you?
Great review Dr Zach, always given us great quality content!! 💪🏿🧠💯 Cannot wait for the review of the Li-Ning Bad Five 3.0 Ultra those are bad boys !!! 🏆🏆🏆
Hey Doctor Zach, if I usually wear a 10.5 in all my shoes (11 in Nike cause they’re usually narrow), what size should I get for the AR1? All they got is a 10 or 11
I'm a GP Turbo fan too but definitely try the Mizuno Wave Enforce Tour, it's worth your time. Love the Lotto as well but the Mizuno is lighter and also feels a fraction more robust. New GP Turbo replacement due soon.
Do the Lacoste AG-LT 23 fit true to size? Hearing a lot of people going up half a size due to a narrow toe box. I have pretty normal width feet so not sure if I should go TTS or up a half.
Which one of these shoes ia most similar to Lotto Hyperpujse 100? (Or Raptor) TW is not selling Lotto for now. I have flat feet and Lotto is the shoe I usually use. Not many fit my feet.
Not sure if you have any updates yet but the Barricade 13 just got release with almost no visual difference from the new Barricade 2023. Also any review for the NB 1007?
So Zach, is the new Adidas Barricade 13 the same as the revamped Barricade 2013 selected here? Seems to have a new midsole at the very least. How does the new version differ in your opinion? Seems like they just dialed this shoe in six months ago and now they changed it again!
@@FootDoctorZach No more BOUNCE midsole. It has been replaced by something they call a Dual Density Repetitor midsole cushioning system. According to Adidas, "Soft and comfortable REPITITOR foam combines with REPITITOR+ - a firm, second density foam, made of 15% recycled materials - to strike soft whilst still cradling and stabilizing the heel with every stride."
Hey Zach, I know you mentioned that the gel res 9 clay version is the best 2023 clay shoe out there from what you tested, but I do see that for the hard court version, you keep putting the lotto raptors over them. Do you think that the clay version of the raptor would also be better than the gel res 9 clay ? I would have the opportunity to get the clay version of the raptors but I'm hesitating a bit because of the gel res 9 and I'm really torn on which to get
@footdoctorzach ....what about tennis/basketball shoes for wide footers? I'm a 4e and I wanted to do the twowxy v4's but I tried the standard and they were too tight....I'm wondering if theres any way the 2e will be roomier
Looking for one that gives me forefoot rigidity for post hallux rigidus surgery. Any of these? I checked your shoes of the year video but did not find a forefoot pain category, just a ball of foot pain, which I think is different
For some insane reason Mizuno makes size 15 running shoes but NOT tennis shoes, cmon Mizuno! Same with Lotto, lacoste, babolat and even prince. Guess i'll have to go pro to get size 15s universal.
Thanks for the great list! I noticed that I tend not to like Mizuno because how they look although I really like how it feels. But just can’t help with thinking they look clownish. Another problem with It, here in Europe it’s hard to get hands on non clay version. Lotto Raptor is available much wider here. Today I tried Lacoste, they look a bit too massive on feet.

Your foot shape probably just mismatches a tad there- there are ways to pad around that too which can prevent that

Hey Doctor Zach, if I usually wear a 10.5 in all my shoes (11 in Nike cause they’re usually narrow), what size should I get for the AR1? All they got is a 10 or 11
Any of these good for wide feet? If not, which new tennis shoes would u recommend for wide feet? Thanks

Babolat jet mach 3 . Breathable. Lightweight. Stability.Agile. 🗝️ Doc. No mention though?
Its #1 in some other court sport shoe reviews ive done in the last 12 months- They're still right up there with the best , picking just 5 can be tough
Always good work Zach. Sharing widely
I appreciate you
ur obsessed with the blue shield. need to try it now lol
As always - the best :) i might try Lacoste. How is the comfort compared to GP Turbo?
Just much different of an experience
I'm a GP Turbo fan too but definitely try the Mizuno Wave Enforce Tour, it's worth your time. Love the Lotto as well but the Mizuno is lighter and also feels a fraction more robust. New GP Turbo replacement due soon.
Hey Zach, I'm looking for something similar to the vapor pro (1s). Where it is a light low heel drop shoe. do you have any recommendations?
Do the Lacoste AG-LT 23 fit true to size? Hearing a lot of people going up half a size due to a narrow toe box. I have pretty normal width feet so not sure if I should go TTS or up a half.
go up a half
coach is the shoe size or mizuno different with adidas? im usually adidas barricade size 42 , how about Mizuno ? japan size 26,5? thanks
I use the adidas ubersonic 4. Would you say that is a good tennis shoe?
what's the best for wide feet? can't seem to find the right one.
Which one of these shoes ia most similar to Lotto Hyperpujse 100? (Or Raptor) TW is not selling Lotto for now.
I have flat feet and Lotto is the shoe I usually use. Not many fit my feet.
I’ve been battling some heel/achilles pain are there any recommendations of shoes that might help alleviate this?

I'm suprised the gel res 9s made it on here ahead of the ff3s.
What’s an alternative for the Nike Vapor pro that got discontinued
solution speed
Not sure if you have any updates yet but the Barricade 13 just got release with almost no visual difference from the new Barricade 2023. Also any review for the NB 1007?
They put a different foam in it but it doesn’t look like it’s much of a difference at all
Need your review of grip socks e.g supersox. Does it enhance your game ?
I dunno about enhance but you may like the sticky feeling with the shoe especially if you're between sizes
Couldn't stand the CG1, rubbed my ankle in every weird which way. Shame. Loved the look.
On my 4th pair of the Lotto's!
Are the Lacoste lightweight?
Can you please explain what the term "Snakebite" means? Thanks
Pain or injured
So Zach, is the new Adidas Barricade 13 the same as the revamped Barricade 2013 selected here? Seems to have a new midsole at the very least. How does the new version differ in your opinion? Seems like they just dialed this shoe in six months ago and now they changed it again!
Haven’t tried them yet but dosent look like much difference
@@FootDoctorZach No more BOUNCE midsole. It has been replaced by something they call a Dual Density Repetitor midsole cushioning system. According to Adidas, "Soft and comfortable REPITITOR foam combines with REPITITOR+ - a firm, second density foam, made of 15% recycled materials - to strike soft whilst still cradling and stabilizing the heel with every stride."
Hey Zach, I know you mentioned that the gel res 9 clay version is the best 2023 clay shoe out there from what you tested, but I do see that for the hard court version, you keep putting the lotto raptors over them. Do you think that the clay version of the raptor would also be better than the gel res 9 clay ? I would have the opportunity to get the clay version of the raptors but I'm hesitating a bit because of the gel res 9 and I'm really torn on which to get
I cant get a clay version of the Raptors to test out so I have no clue- my guess is they're great but I can say for sure without putting them on foot
@footdoctorzach ....what about tennis/basketball shoes for wide footers? I'm a 4e and I wanted to do the twowxy v4's but I tried the standard and they were too tight....I'm wondering if theres any way the 2e will be roomier
I have been using nike zoom freak 5 for basketball and tennis outdoor, its been fantastic, the outsole does lastlong too!
what do you think about Head shoes?
I’ve done plenty of reviews on them if you search for a specific shoe it should come up
Adidas ubersonic 4.1, works best for me
Any of these shoes better for us flat foot minimalist using Babolat Jet Mach 3s?
If you like the Jet machs maybe the Lacoste but you won’t get the cushy feel like the babolat
What the difference between the wave enforce and the wave enforce AC version? I can only find the AC version in womens
AC is all court - that’s the regular one then there’s the clay
Looking for one that gives me forefoot rigidity for post hallux rigidus surgery. Any of these? I checked your shoes of the year video but did not find a forefoot pain category, just a ball of foot pain, which I think is different
Ball of foot pain category has my favorites - also depends if its a clean up, graft, or fusion - orthotics usually are tailored to the procedure
Where does the New Balance CT Rally fit in? Seems like a good, stable shoe, but I haven’t tried it.
Its decent - certain players are going to like it more than others- did a deep dive on them that you can check out
Thank you!
Hey zach can u test the Adidas bouce legends please? 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Can you review the giannis immortality 3?
Hi Zach can you review Giannis IMMORTALITY 3.
Yes
For some insane reason Mizuno makes size 15 running shoes but NOT tennis shoes, cmon Mizuno! Same with Lotto, lacoste, babolat and even prince. Guess i'll have to go pro to get size 15s universal.
Thanks for the great list!
I noticed that I tend not to like Mizuno because how they look although I really like how it feels. But just can’t help with thinking they look clownish. Another problem with It, here in Europe it’s hard to get hands on non clay version. Lotto Raptor is available much wider here.
Today I tried Lacoste, they look a bit too massive on feet.
